We're recruiting for a TIG/MIG Welder to join a well-established manufacturing company in Redditch. This role offers strong hourly pay plus a shift allowance, and full training on robotic welding equipment for the right candidate — no prior robotic experience needed.

You'll be working on forging dies and tooling, using a mix of TIG and MIG welding alongside a robotic welding arm, restoring and repairing components to a high standard. If you have solid TIG and MIG welding experience from a manufacturing or engineering background, we'd love to hear from you — whether or not you've used robotic welding equipment before.

Key Responsibilities

• Setting up and operating a robotic welding arm
• Applying multiple layers of weld to various forging dies
• Removing slag and debris from welded surfaces
• Preparing and cleaning surfaces between weld layers
• Completing the welding process until the impression within the block is fully restored
• Repairing different types of tooling
• Performing TIG, MIG, and ARC welding where required
• Inspecting completed work to ensure it meets quality standards
• Maintaining safe and accurate work practices within a manufacturing environment
